Business Gives Workshop - Strategies for Smart Giving
Strategies for Smart Giving:
When to Say “Yes” and How to Say “No”
Date: Thursday, October, 18, 2012
Time: 7:30 a.m.
Place: Winona Area Chamber of Commerce Conference Room
An opportunity to develop a thoughtful plan for your community giving!
Strategies for Smart Giving helps businesses better understand why and how they give and how they can be more strategic about what they give and to whom – in other words, when to say “yes” and how to say “no” to the many requests for assistance from nonprofit organizations, community groups, and individuals.
In today’s economic climate, having a thoughtful plan for your company’s community giving is even more important. Your business might have fewer resources to contribute, while at the same time the requests for help are growing. You are committed to making your community a healthy and strong place for your employees and your neighbors, but know you can’t respond to each and every request.
The program’s facilitator, Jackie Reis, will present a number of tools businesses can use to put structure to their giving, includinghow to create a giving plan, goals and criteria for giving, contributions policies and procedures, and an effective decision-making process. Each participant will receive a copy of the Minnesota Business Giving and Community Involvement Workbook
We invite you to join your business peers on October 18 to learn more about how having a plan can help make your giving decisions easier! To register, contact the Winona Area Chamber of Commerce at 452—2272 or by email to info@winonachamber.com, or register online at www.winonachamber.com
